When it comes to managing arthritis discomfort and pain, studies have shown that “motion is lotion.” Join Derry member Sandy Morales, a certified arthritis exercise instructor who has been teaching the class for 14 years. She will guide you through a series of gentle exercises designed to take your joints through their range of motion.

Most of these exercises are done seated in a chair. An important goal of the class is fall prevention. Strength and balance exercises are included which will help you to prevent a fall. No special exercise equipment is required: just have some light hand weights or even small water bottles or soup cans handy for the strength training exercises, along with water to drink to keep yourself well-hydrated.
